"&lt;strong&gt;Stevie Wonder&lt;/strong&gt; broke down and nearly cried in the middle of a major televised performance -- and it was all because of &lt;strong&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The emotional breakdown occurred on-stage at the Rock and Roll 25th Hall of Fame Anniversary Concert -- which aired on HBO this weekend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder was singing Jackson's, \"&lt;strong&gt;The Way You Make Me Feel&lt;/strong&gt;\" -- when Stevie, still distraught by the death of his good friend, suddenly chokes up, hunches over and puts his face in his hands ... while the music continues to play. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all goes down around 1:35 into the clip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stevie eventually pulls himself together and finished the song -- and ultimately received a hug from&lt;strong&gt; John Legend&lt;/strong&gt; and a huge ovation from the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div id=\"classkey\" class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Stevie Wonder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/07/stevie-wonder-usher-rehearse-for-mj-memorial/\"&gt;Stevie &amp;amp; Usher Rehearse for MJ Memorial&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2008/12/09/stevie-wonder-to-cuz-lets-fight-amana-to-amana/\"&gt;Stevie Wonder to Cuz: Let's Fight Amana to Amana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2008/11/21/stevie-wonder-deal-or-no-deal/\"&gt;Stevie Wonder -- Deal ... or No Deal?!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"clear\"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/12/02/spacer-1.gif\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"14\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" height=\"70\" hspace=\"0\" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
